does it say here that Mirek Jakes is going to drive a DS3 R5? Which champ?

Thnx

[Mirek]

Yes, Jakeš will drive DS3 R5 in Czech International Championship. His car will be ready at the end of March but next MM?R event Rallye ?eský Krumlov will take place only in early may (as Rally Šumava was moved to late may from April because of joint ERC Historic Rallye Vltava). Jakeš was said to drive several Austrian events "close" to Wienna as well as his sponsor is active there.

The article says that Gekon Racing team of Tomáš Pletka is one of the very first to receive training how to build and maintain DS3 R5 and shall serve as a technical support for other teams.

Also Slovak Igor Drotár shall drive DS3 R5 and if nothing changed another Czech driver as well...

Is Jakes interested in doing gravel events in Austria? Because the rallies that are situated next to Vienna of ORM are the Schneebergland and the Waldviertel Rallye.

[Mirek]

No, the team doesn't plan to purchase gravel suspension parts. I think they meant some smaller events. I don't know which those could be?

Aha, You might be right. I remember it was DS3 and automatically joined it with R5. It can be WRC of course, I don't know.
